Yeezy’s wife, Kim Kardashian, took to her Instagram account on Tuesday (Mar. 3), to reveal that the album’s image is in fact the 13th century Monastic symbol for the Virgin Mary.

The host of SportsCenter referenced the Aussie rapper in a way that struck a chord with her boyfriend, who sent off a series of tweets Monday (Mar. 2), but now Flores had a retort for the Los Angeles Laker.

“If you look at his numbers, there is a 70 percent chance that if he takes a shot at me, he’s going to miss. I’m just looking at the numbers, so I’m good,” Flores said, referencing Swaggy P’s shooting percentage on the court. Flores went on to say his harmless jab at Iggy was in the name of fun. “I make fun of a lot of people, we were just having fun a little bit,” he said. “I get it, he has to cape-up for his girl and that’s understandable. But I think that most people get that it was a joke.”

If not, first check out the Vine video below of that cringe-worthy moment and then keep reading to see his bashful explanation.

The Empire actor stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to explain what exactly happened that night. A mix of a loss of the lines he engrained into his brain so that he wouldn’t have to use the teleprompter, and being starstruck by the actors and actresses in the venue, namely Oprah Winfrey, the 45-year-old failed at the memorization game and had an epic flub in front of onlookers.

The Dot Da Genius co-produced soundscape was initially listed on Cudi’s Satellite Flight: The Journey to Mother Moon series, but now listeners get a chance to bask in what Cudder has been working on in the studio.

The Cleveland native belts out reaffirming lyrics of “Don’t be so down, come on young homie/ You’ll be okay/ You’ll find real love,” reassuring those fans who may be down in the dumps either over a “lonely heart” or personal disappointment.

Listen to the uplifting song below.

The “212” rapper posted her last two personal tweets before she hands over the login credentials to her management, stating even though she missed the beginning of the contemplative time, “I’m going off tweets until April 2nd!! My management will tweet AB news.” The Harlemite later added, “I need to give my mind a break,” but reassured her followers that she’ll remain on Instagram.

I missed the beginning of Lent but better late than never. I'm going off tweets until April 2nd!! My management will tweet AB news.

Following the surprise release of her debut album Broke With Expensive Taste, Banks is set to hit the road for a North American tour in promotion of her critically-acclaimed project, beginning Apr. 10 at Coachella.

The media mogul recorded a handful of Instagram videos, portraying messages of his rise to fame, which was evidently met with obstacles as he climbed the ladder of success.

“Diddy’s 15 Seconds Of Motivation” also showcases the Bad Boy leader stating “How can you hate me?” given his work ethic, and wants you, Uncle Sam style, to motivate yourself to strive for greatness.

The visuals serve as a follow up to his prosperous mantra for 2015, which you can view here.

The Between The Sheets tour rolls into San Jose, Calif. on Mar. 6 at the SAP Center. Watch a few of the moments below.

With lyrics from the Taylor Gang cohorts aimed at not putting a ring on “thots” and practicing the “sharing is caring” philosophy, the rappers have no problem spreading the love to the women they come in contact with.

Before the Memphis native’s album, The Hustle Continues, drops later this year, listen to the track below.
